Message from JUG President, Jason Lee

December 20th, 2016

Next month (January 10th, to be exact), we will have Google Developer Advocate Ray Tsang (https://twitter.com/saturnism) in town to talk about gRPC*. I saw a brief demo at JavaOne and it was awesome. This is a great opportunity for the Oklahoma City tech community, so we want to get the word out early, and, while the invitation is always implicit, we’re trying to make sure other tech groups are aware that they, too, are invited.

Another exciting change for the new year is that we now have, thanks to Techlahoma, our own Meetup group: https://www.meetup.com/okcjug/. We’ll be using this group for meeting announcements, reservations, etc. We’ll be basing our food order off of the registration numbers, so it’s really important that you all create an account and RSVP for each meeting. There are no plans to deny food to those who didn’t RSVP, of course, but getting accurate numbers ahead of time will help make sure we order the right amount of food.

I think that’s it for this year. Mark your calendar for January 10th. Go create a Meetup account. Watch for the meeting notice from Meetup and RSVP if you’re coming. And have a very merry Christmas and and a happy new year!.

* The topic hasn’t been nailed down yet. It should be either gRPC or Kubernetes. We’re still discussing. 🙂
